Babies

A crying baby can cause tons of stress and sleepless nights for parents. So, when they figure out a magical key to soothing the little monster when it starts to fuss, that's a big deal indeed — even if it's something as unlikely as bombastic as the 'Star Wars' theme.

Lest you think we're making this up, there really do seem to be widespread cases of children getting their heads stuck in things in China. As further proof, a young boy recently got his noggin trapped in a wall in southwest China's Chongqing district. Jeez, whatever happened to baby-proofing?

It's really the little things that make Carl from the Pixar movie 'Up' the perfect party costume -- the tennis balls on that PVC pipe walker are not only functional, they're also accurate. Okay, *technically* the tennis balls should be on a cane, but what are you going to do, fill a kid up on cake then give him essentially a big stick to swing around? That's a surefire way to ruin the cutest party

"Way to go, Dan. Way to make a baby boy cry on live television." Yeah, good job Dan. We especially like how once the baby starts to cry his impulse is to run awaaaaaayy, and then later to cheer the crying kid up with a bit of song and dance.

So a baby walks into a bar…and a hilarious Tumblr is born.

Admit it-- you’ve definitely been caught once or twice passionately lip-synching in the car with awesome dance moves to match. In between drum solos, you catch the guy in the car next to you laughing his pants off at your antics, and you not-so-casually look away, pretending you were just swatting at the non-existent fly that’s hindering your driving skills. Rocking out in the car doesn’t have to

Toddlers have this thing about making everything they do so darn cute. Maybe it’s their sheer innocence when they scale door frames or shove toy car parts up their noses that makes behaving like a moron so endearing.

Snooki is finally ready to show her baby to the world, and it is just slightly bigger than her enormous false lashes. Lorenzo and his mom appear on the cover of People magazine, and he is tiny and cute and appropriately tiny for a baby. (Though his hair is somewhat smaller than expected.)

If you've spent much time around babies, you'd know they have a tendency to cycle through different random-seeming facial expressions. This video of little Oliver has to be the most thorough display of this phenomenon that we've ever seen.

Babies are the luckiest little munchkins. If our days simply consisted of eating, pooping, and sleeping, we would find ourselves in infinite bliss. Ok, maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement, but they do lead pretty amazing lives. However, babies do need a little adventure here and there, and that’s where the ‘WeeBot’ comes in.

You really should brace yourself, because upon seeing these babies start to dance in sync, you may suddenly find yourself wanting to have a kid, or at least distantly contemplating "borrowing" one for a short while.

It's the typical American story. Daughter is becoming a first-time mom, and her mother wants to be supportive and helpful to her child. But that's where our story takes a 21st century twist. What happens when a wannabe mother has a health condition that makes it dangerous for her to get pregnant? Enter first-time grandma. Literally.

Children have some sort of magical power to do things that grownups can't -- if some jerk stood on the balcony overlooking the escalator and waved and said goodbye to every single person who went by, it could easily ruin your trip to the mall. For some reason, though, when little Chloe does it, everyone smiles and waves back and it's completely adorable.

You may often find yourself asking, "How can I reconcile my love of loud British rock with my unceasing desire to look at photos of adorable babies?" Well, worry no more, because the folks over at Diffuser have sifted through decades of albums and compiled the cutest babies on covers for your perusal.

Babies have a reputation for being sweet and cuddly, but anyone who's ever been near one knows this isn't always the case. Like all people, babies are capable of getting seriously ticked off. And when that happens, you better watch out.
